I am surrounded by people who are music enthusiasts and musically inclined including my sister and her husband which is from the band cueshe. I could still recall my elementary and highschool years growing up with my sister and hearing her sing " with a smile" and playing the guitar with the song"ang huling el bimbo", these was her favorites. I fell in love with the songs too and of course the band who sang those songs including the Vocalist Ely Buendia. Since then my sister and I and the rest of my cousin patronizes the e-heads.

The band is one of the most successful, critically-acclaimed, and significant bands in the history of Original Pinoy Music, earning them the accolade, "The Beatles of the Philippines."The Eraserheads are also credited for spearheading a second wave of Manila band invasions, paving the way for a host of Philippine alternative rock bands such as Rivermaya, The Youth, Teeth, Parokya ni Edgar and Yano.
The band released several singles, albums, and EPs that reached number one. This commercial success was most evident in the release of their third album Cutterpillow, which achieved platinum status several times. The Eraserheads are one the best-selling musical acts of all time in the Philippines, paving way for an international career that earned them the "Moon Man" in the MTV Video Music Awards.
Their diverse music worked both in the underground and mainstream scenes of the Philippine music industry. By fusing different musical styles such as alternative, pop, rock, reggae, and synthpop the Eraserheads helped change the sound of Pinoy rock.
